Candy Crush The Movie: Trailer

by Shy Guy Shawn,posted Jun 17 2013 1:27PM

Candy Crush Saga has officially swept the nation.

personally i dont get it. ive downloaded it and played it once or twice but i couldnt get into it so i deleted it.
but im well aware that im in the minority on this one, as every day i get tons of game requests to either play or 'send a friend a life' (?) or other things with game jargon that i dont even understand.

Some games have turned into movies with a bit of success (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil) so it was only a matter of time til someone got around to turning Candy Crush Saga (and other popular smartphone games) into a movie.

and here's the trailer...

ok so its not a REAL movie (but a damn good trailer which makes me wish it was one)
this work is actually done by YouTube sensation Ryan Higa (who started out lipsyncing to popular songs on YouTube to now making comedic videos that get over 5-6 million views)

This latest one is destined to be his best work yet.
And rightfully so due to the incredible success of the game itself.
In the past couple of months Candy Crush has become the most popular game on Facebook and among the top apps in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. According to King, the maker of the game, it's being played more than half a billion times a day on mobile just alone.

So even though this here video is just a 'parody' of a trailer of what a 'Candy Crush Movie' would be like.
The chance of an actual real-life movie may not be too far off.
